More Baby Bel! I got myself an X-Acto knock-off (hello, it was PINK and retractable) and so I experimented a little. I used some deco cutters to make a light imprint in the wax, and then traced it. It's really not precise, but I think I just need some practice. Or have my hubby do it.
And *gasp* another chocolate treat! I fully blame my mom for this. She sent us a HUGE - and I mean massive - box of chocolates in the mail yesterday. So E got a chocolate nut cluster in today's lunch.
The gyoza are not actually burned, just FYI.

UGHHHHH this makes me sooooo hungry. Looks really awesome!!
As always,cute lunch with colors! Love your baby bell cheese :)
Thanks ladies!
Yum! I'd love to know how you prepare the gyoza - mine never turn out right. Do you use the TJ gyoza? And where do you buy the sauce? I love all your lunches :-)
I really like the Ling Ling brand of all natural chicken potstickers. I buy them in big bags at Costco since we have them so often. I also sometimes get TJ's dumplings and wontons, and experiment with ones from Super H Mart. I'm an equal-opportunity gyoza lover!
Most potstickers can be cooked in this way: Heat some canola oil in a pan over high heat and add the potstickers flat-side down. Immediately add the water (I don't usually measure, but about 2/3 cup). Cover and set the timer for 6-7 minutes. Voila! Perfectly steamed, and lightly browned on the bottom. Most, if not all the water will have evaporated.
I also use this "dumpling method" to cook frozen ravioli!
As for the sauce, I make my own. equal parts soy sauce and ponzu sauce (bottled and found in any Asian market.)
Hope that helps!
